Preparation Tip

For a warm, nutty flavour, you can lightly toast wheat bran, oat bran, or wheat germ before eating.
Toast in a dry skillet over medium heat (stirring constantly) or spread on a baking sheet and heat in the oven until fragrant. Allow to cool before using in yogurt, smoothies, cereal, or baking.
